Additional Parameters
• Recent studies have shown a Vac/Vac/Dry or a Solvent/Vac/Vac/Dry wipe is most effective
• The first vacuum wipe pulls solder from the aperture and forms stalactite's hanging from the aperture
Continuous vs index mode
• Continuous mode – advances the paper during wiper motion ensuring fresh paper is applied during the wipe – maximum paper
consumption
• Index mode – paper is advanced a pre-determined amount then is stationary during wiper motion – minimum paper consumption
• Continuous has shown to clean better and prevent “snowplowing” of the paste particularly when vacuuming
Hop over
• Used to address snowplow effect – retracts plenum and moves over end point
Overtravel
• Wipe stroke pre-determined by squeegee stroke – allows extension of stroke – eliminates contamination of gold fingers if present
Wiper speed
• Recommended speed of wipe or solvent stroke – 2 Inch/second
• Recommended speed of Vacuum stroke – 1 inch/second
